459083 2006-05-30 05:43:00 Hi guys
How can I make templates of excel headers and footers - I'm sick of creating a new worksheet and having to manually enter the same header and footer that's in another wksht on the same spreadsheet.

Surely there must be an easy way. :badpc:

Thanks.

Create a template
Decide which type of template you want:

Workbook template

Create a workbook that contains the sheets, default text (such as page headers and column and row labels), formulas, macros (macro: An action or a set of actions you can use to automate tasks . Macros are recorded in the Visual Basic for Applications programming language . ), styles (style: A combination of formatting characteristics, such as font, font size, and indentation, that you name and store as a set . When you apply a style, all of the formatting instructions in that style are applied at one time . ), and other formatting you want in new workbooks based on the template .

Worksheet template

Create a workbook that contains one worksheet . On the worksheet, include the formatting, styles (style: A combination of formatting characteristics, such as font, font size, and indentation, that you name and store as a set . When you apply a style, all of the formatting instructions in that style are applied at one time . ), text, and other information you want to appear on all new sheets of the same type .

To display a picture of the first page of a template in the Preview box of the Templates dialog box (General Templates . . . , New Workbook task pane), click Properties on the File menu, click the Summary tab, and then select the Save preview picture check box .
On the File menu, click Save As .
In the Save as type box, click Template .
In the Save in box, select the folder where you want to store the template .
